Session 1890 <br />July 1, 2003 <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner said that the ramp would only be a problem then depending on the <br />number of lifeguards we have. If we have only one, then it is a danger. If we <br />have more, then it would not be a danger. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams said that he would not be comfortable, knowing the engineer's <br />concerns, in designing the ramp down the middle. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner said that Prop K meets tonight and he will ask them about it. Mr. <br />Ollendorff responded that Prop K had already looked at it and had no comments <br />about the location. He asked the Mayor permission to allow one of the Prop K <br />members attending the meeting to make a comment regarding this issue. <br /> <br />Jen Jensen said that this ramp location was what she had originally wanted in <br />early concept meetings. With all of her years of experience and what she has <br />seen in other community pools, this is the ideal ramp for Heman Pool. They <br />were very happy with it. Her concern was for a teaching area, but it looks like <br />some of her kids could use a portion of the ramp for kids to sit on. Mr. Wagner <br />said that the Park Commission's concern was for the kids to be able to have <br />direct access to the deck and they were afraid that a ramp there would prevent <br />this from happening. Ms. Jensen said that, in her opinion, it would not affect the <br />family teaching area. Mr. Wagner said he conceded his argument. He will agree <br />to the ramp along the wall. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff also wished to report Council on several other smaller changes <br />suggested by staff, Prop K and the Park Commission. The City Council would <br />have the final decision. <br /> <br />Prop K asked that the volleyball walkway be relocated so that it does not <br />interfere with the sunbathing area. <br /> <br />Prop K wants to make sure that there is a wide trench drain across the <br />path. <br /> <br />Starting blocks require minimum water depth. Lap lanes are too shallow. <br />Blocks are used for practice purposes. Mr. Ollendorff noted that the <br />engineers may be able to design more depth and the blocks may be able <br />to be moved over closer to the lap lanes. <br /> <br />Water slide was designed farther away from the lap lanes. No lap lane <br />interference. <br /> <br />Raindrop foundation deleted from the plan as requested. There is still a <br />spray pad by the baby pool. <br /> <br />The eastern boundary of chain link fence will be moved next to the <br />building. Engineers caution that this may be turned down by the authority <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
